I’m at a loss on what gift to give to my nephew that’s turning 2 in about a week.
Just ask the parents what (s)he likes.
Definitely coordinate with the parents, not only to find what your nephew’s interests are but also so no gifts are duplicated.
If they don’t have advice or you can’t ask for some reason, Brio scale trains, construction equipment, emergency vehicles, dinosaurs and generic toys are usually a good bet, they don’t usually understand or care about brand names or franchises yet.
if they don’t have some already, 100% on the Brio train set - except not Brio. The generic wooden railway sets are just as good nowadays, and many many times cheaper.
You can buy a whole dinosaur themed wooden railway set on Amazon for £37. I’d want that, even as an adult!
FWIW, both of my kids played with their wooden railway for years - seriously good investment.
Yes, Brio scale, not Brio brand.
“They” is a word that exists
Full stops also exist. Both are fine.
Stuffed elephant.
Play dough is a good one.
Make sure you get nothing with battery’s and/or makes noise unless you hate the parents
Trucks, big colorful trucks.
PS5
The Pro variant?
Teddy bear
Magnetiles are probably a good choice. Gonna get my niece a set for her birthday next month.
This little people house.

It’s kept my daughter interested and her several years brother loves to play with it too. It’s got a few cute songs that she dances to. There’s one about mixing milk and spaghetti and some nonsense. So it’s funny for the parent. It was well worth the money. As a kid, I remember playing with the little people house up until like 10 or something so it doesn’t get old.
A gun
I have a 2.5 year old girl. She loves stuff like this. This brand is also pretty durable.
triple shots of espresso
A large empty box that they can climb in and make it a fort. Cover it in cloth with their favorite theme.
A toy that makes a lot of sound- like a truck with siren noises or a little electric piano, or spaceship with explosion sounds. There are these great plastic dinos that roar when you play with them. As a parent, I’m telling you, their parents will thank you.
Children’s books.
If you hate the parents? Something loud.
Otherwise ask the parents.
At two they are growing and changing quickly, clothes are good too
